As always, Onora O’Neill distills an issue to its essence and makes complex matters accessible to lay readers. Her analysis of the (seemingly largely ignored today) ethical dimensions of digital communication is clear and concise. The crux is, interestingly, tracing the origin of our contemporary laissez-faire view toward the potential and actual harms of digital media to a shift in priority in ethics from duties to rights about a century ago. That explains a lot about the perceived unfettered right to free expression however little the value (or great the harm) of what one has to say. O’Neill focuses largely on the should-be accountability of the source of communication (particularly those who recklessly promulgate falsehoods). A sequel would be valuable—focusing on the epistemic and ethical responsibilities of the receiver/reader of these communications, for that is where the trumping of duties by rights provides so many marks for so many cons. . .
